 # Chat LangGraph
 
-> [!WARNING]
+Chat LangGraph is a Vite + React application which enables chatting with any LangGraph server with a `messages` key through a chat interface.
-> This repo is still a work in progress and is not intended for use. Estimated launch date 03/11. Thank you for your patience.
 
 ## Setup
 
-1. Clone `langgraph` repo and `langgraphjs-api` repo.
+> [!TIP]
-1. Checkout the following branches:
+> Don't want to run the app locally? Use the deployed site here: [chat-langgraph.vercel.app](https://chat-langgraph.vercel.app)!
-   - `langgraph`: `dqbd/sdk-js-react-ui`
-   - `langgraphjs-api`: `dqbd/api-ui`
-1. Run `npx packserve -d ../langgraph/libs/sdk-js ../langgraphjs-api/libs/langgraph-api ../langgraphjs-api/libs/langgraph-cli`
-1. Run `pnpm install` while running the `packserve` server
 
-TODO: will create RC packages down the line, but just too lazy for now.
+First, clone the repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/langchain-ai/chat-langgraph.git
+
+cd chat-langgraph
+```
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+Run the app:
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+The app will be available at `http://localhost:5173`.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once the app is running (or if using the deployed site), you'll be prompted to enter:
+
+- **Deployment URL**: The URL of the LangGraph server you want to chat with. This can be a production or development URL.
+- **Assistant/Graph ID**: The name of the graph, or ID of the assistant to use when fetching, and submitting runs via the chat interface.
+- **LangSmith API Key**: (only required for connecting to deployed LangGraph servers) Your LangSmith API key to use when authenticating requests sent to LangGraph servers.
+
+After entering these values, click `Continue`. You'll then be redirected to a chat interface where you can start chatting with your LangGraph server.
